Welcome about and glad you like the watch and forum :D

Word of warning though..........keep your wallet hidden whilst browsing the forum and CW site, as it can get rather expensive :shock: :D

MiniMpi - own a 1980 Mini City on 10" Cooper S steelies. its also got a Mk1 bootlid and grille, so it looks quite retro.

enjoy, and merry christmas

Nice pics! Love the skeleton logo. I prefer the 'Chr.Ward London' but now totally understand it would be too much to fit it in. Really nice watch!

Pretty good photos for a phone.

These are the first photos of the HRDC I believe. They would make a great addition to the "Reference Gallery" under the C11 topic. :)

The upper logo is the HRDC logo: http://www.hrdc.eu/

The Chr.WARD logo is in the 6 o'clock sub-dial.

Oh right my bad. yeah just wanted to say the Chr. Ward logo I prefer it with the 'London' like they have now. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they change it from 'Chr.Ward' to 'Chr.Ward London'? Only been aware about CWL for 6 months so don't know most of what happened before.

I like that. I actually considered the HRDC or Mercedes Benz Club (now discontinued) C11 prior to the purchase of the Makaira. They are very racing-sporty and I have my C3 for that.

I noticed the price was £354.17/$550.00 for the Mercedes (Auto) and £332.50/$550.00 for the HRDC (Quartz) C11s. Pretty cheap for that Automatic compared to the other Auto C11s. I wonder why that was?

Hi there, if you are comparing Chris ward to any seiko you will be disappointed ... Your black monster is far more charismatic .... And a fraction of the price ! Lovely watch the monster and as an identity !
